@VerbumCatholic @baileybrown @oliverburdick The point is they were universally accepted as part of the Canon for 1100 years until Luther came along. You said they were added in 1550; they were subtracted by his group when he separated from the Church. The Jews used these books in Jesus time but deleted them circa 100 AD.

@WindermereLarry @baileybrown @oliverburdick Point is that the New Testament books were not all "universally accepted" (if that means without any dispute recorded) and yet no one has successfully dropped *them* (yet) It did take almost 300 years after Luther to lose the Christian Old Testament in favor of the Jewish one.

The Bible has 66 books, not 73.

@VerbumCatholic @baileybrown @oliverburdick Luther had no authority to do that. If he is your authority, then it has no credibility.

@baileybrown @WindermereLarry @oliverburdick It wasn't just the 7 books of the Christian Old Testament (and it wasn't even cleanly those 7 for the Old) - but the New Testament deuterocanon as well. This is why Luther de-numbered those disputed NT books as well.

@gayrimesqul @NicoleJenes1 The Quran uses plagerized material word for word from heretical Gnostic and Arian sources some 100 years after they were written!

@WindermereLarry @NicoleJenes1 The reason the final book, the Quran, was revealed is because the previous holy scriptures were altered by people—especially the Gospel. The Quran, however, has been preserved by Allah and has never been changed. If you compare seven different copies of the Quran from seven +

Let me guess you don’t know what the Talmud says about Jesus Christ…that he boils in excrements. As a Christian I know Muslims see Jesus as a prophet and they say “peace be upon him” as well about mother Mary.

@gayrimesqul @NicoleJenes1 I wouldn’t look in the Quran for the truth about Jesus. It incorporates word for word heretical Gnostic and Arian sources some 600 years after the four Christian Gospels told the truth about Jesus.

@WindermereLarry @NicoleJenes1 the prophets. They are all sacred and valuable to us—they are also our books. However, if you want to learn the truth about Jesus, you can look up the verses about him in the Quran online. Then you will understand what I mean. I hope , may Allah honor you with Islam, my friend🙏🏽

@baileybrown @oliverburdick They were confirmed at Trent. They were part of the Bible Canon when it was formally defined in 390 AD. Jesus did read from those books.

with respect, the 7 additional books were not universally accepted by the early church and were never part of the Hebrew Scriptures that Jesus Himself read and quoted from. The Council of Trent formally added them in 1546 as a response to the Reformation, 1600 years is not accurate. The 66 books stand on their own and have never needed anything added to them.

@MasterMaliq All Of what you say is wrong. Taken from the Quran 600 years after the 4 Gospels say otherwise, and the Quran plagerized Gnostic and Arian sources condemned by Christians as heresy.

The message of Jesus was not complicated: One God. No partner. No wife. No family. No shared divinity. Just pure worship of the One who created everything. The message of Muhammad was no different: One God. No partner. No wife. No family. No intermediaries. Just direct submission to the Creator. The message of Jesus is the message of Muhammad.

@baileybrown @oliverburdick The Bible has 73 books and has for 1600 years. Some folks have rejected that reality and gone astray deleting 7 of them.

@oliverburdick 66 books. All inspired, all sufficient, all pointing to Jesus from Genesis to Revelation. That's the canon.

@Maximumatheist Given there is a God, then He created time, space and matter. So He has to live outside of time space and matter. Moreover we are infinitely inferior and limited compared to him. We just can’t expect to understand how that is possible. If there is no God, there is no explanation.

It still needs your money.

@_Ochiedike What defines good or evil for you? If it’s anything other than God, then you are dead wrong.

Christians accept the truth.

@MercifulMessage The Muslim Cowboy is mist unkind with unwarranted insults.

Get Jesus’ name out of your putrid mouth

@BibleInContext1 So sorry for you. The Bible not in context at all.

Jesus’s Mother Is NOT This Catholic Lady Who Goes By Mary! The Catholic “Mary” is a counterfeit Mary, a demon spirit. In the Catholic Catechism she is called the “All Holy One” and said to have a saving office and have prayers directed to her ( CCC 969, 2679, 2675-77). In the book: The Glories of Mary, compiled by Alphonsus Liguori, who was canonized in 1839 (Pope Gregory XVI) and proclaimed a Doctor of the Church in 1871 (Pope Pius IX), you can read how prominent Roman Catholics prayed TO Mary in the same we a Bible Believing Christian prays to God alone! Read for yourself: “By thee we have been reconciled to our God. Thou art the only advocate of sinners, the secure haven of the shipwrecked. Thou art the consolation of the world, the redemption of captives, the joy of the sick, the comfort of the afflicted, the refuge and salvation of the whole world. Oh great princess! mother of God! cover us with the wings of thy compassion: have pity on us. We have no hope but in thee, oh most pure Virgin!….. I salute thee, oh peace! oh joy! oh salvation and consolation of the whole world! I salute thee, oh greatest of miracles!” By St. Ephrem “Yes, my Lady, my refuge, my life, my help, my defence, my strength, my joy, my hope, make me to come with thee to paradise. I know that, being the mother of God thou canst obtain this for me if thou wilt. Oh Mary, thou art omnipotent to save sinners, thou needest nothing else to recommend us to thee, for thou art the mother of true life.” St. Germanus. This is utter blasphemy!

@farmingandJesus By the way, if it was a command, the word would have been “shall” not “will”.

The angel didn’t ask her he told her, God is Sovereign and ordained this, he is the potter and we are the clay. The Bible doesn’t say the angels held their breath and the plan of redemption absolutely didn’t hinge on a human being *possibly saying yes* He SAID to her , he didn’t say “would you mind is this ok?” GOD knew her heart was turned to him and faithful. He favored her This isn’t a question. 👇🏻 Luke 1:30-33 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”

@farmingandJesus When she asked how it was possible, then “he said”. Donut Wasn’t an order. And by the way, his explanation implies it will happen, not that it has happened. But her words are very clear”be it done to me…”. There’s no other way to read it. It’s “Yes”.

@taco_talks Catholics worship the way described in Acts, whereas most Protestants don’t. The Breaking of Bread is Communion, and over 1000 years passed before it was challenged. Besides, Without Catholics you wouldn’t have NT scripture. Hopefully you will repent someday from Your apostasy.

You know when you see a dude trying to get you to pretend that he is a woman? That’s how it is when Catholics call themselves Christians. The difference is that Catholics are actually capable of becoming Christians if they repent of Catholicism and trust in Jesus Christ alone

@BibleInContext1 What makes you such an authority to make such a bold statement. No data; no credibility.

The vast majority of Catholic influencer accounts today are run by people who are either not yet confirmed or are brand new to the Catholic Church (1 Timothy 3:6; James 3:1). Yet they confidently echo the same misrepresentations of non-Catholic Christianity repeated by Catholic apologists before them. They haven’t seriously studied church history, official Catholic teaching, or the Scriptures, yet they speak as if they have.

@MercifulMessage Moslems enslaved over the centuries and ISIS and other Moslem groups continue to do it. In the US there are free civilians. Not so in Moslem countries run by fanatics(Iran, Afghanistan and more).

I’m going to keep putting you lying garbage parrots in your place over and over again There is NO such thing as “Sex Slavery” in Islam There is NO punishment for refusing to convert - Islam is not accepted unless it’s sincere and done freely Free civilians CANNOT be enslaved

@BibleInContext1 Still faith without works is dead. All your words not withstanding. Saying you believe is like the Pharisees. Acting like you believe is showing your works. Also, without the Spirit of God in you, you cannot be saved. We can only be saved from sin by the grace of God.

The Bible never condemns faith alone, but a faith that is dead, an empty profession. Its inward deadness is demonstrated by its lack of an outward life. James is explaining what kind of faith results from salvation. If it is true faith it is alive. All works are acts of faith which one must possess beforehand. Good works and obedience demonstrate our faith to the people around us, they glorify God. Biblically our faith is alive before water baptism or any other work!

@JesusSaves1500 I am so happy for you that you are perfect and God’s will always. That’s because if something happened to you and you died this instance, you would go straight to heaven. For all the rest of us, faithful or not, we have unremitted sins, just like the rich man.

No. Maccabees is not Canon and for good reason. The reality is that, at the point of death, one’s eternal destiny is confirmed. Either he is saved through faith in Christ and is in heaven where he is experiencing rest and joy in God’s presence, or he is in torment in hell. The story of the rich man and Lazarus the beggar provides us with a vivid illustration of this truth. Jesus plainly used this story to teach that after death the unrighteous are eternally separated from God, that they remember their rejection of the gospel, that they are in torment, and that their condition cannot be remedied (Luke 16:19-31).

@arc7gaming @TomorrowsWar Tell me how did the verse in John 6 come about? Did the whole Bible magically appear intact? Or was it assembled over centuries by a group of faithful people following a TRADITION?

@TomorrowsWar Sola Fide proven in one verse: John 6:47.

The Protestant doctrine of Sola Fide refuted in one image. It wasn't enough for the Israelites to simply believe God would protect them. They had to physically apply the blood to the doorpost. Without the act of obedience that faith remained "dead"

@MercifulMessage @AsakyGRN I don’t care what the Quran says in a few short excerpts plagerized from Gnostic and Arian heretical writings Muhammed collected while on Caravan. I care about the four harmonious stories in the four Gospels.

@AsakyGRN The Quran also said that Jesus is NOT God and Jesus in the Quran said he is NOT God and Jesus said that anyone who worships him will be in hell forever. Do you follow that too?
